Ultra Luxury - Seven Seas Voyager - It's all included

On Tuesday last week I had another a jaunt down to Southampton for a day ship visit to Seven Seas Voyager, a six star day out!

So what did I think, well read on.....

Well the key feature is 'it's all included', so what do you get:-

• All gratuities
• All fine dining, including the speciality restaurants and you can pre-book 1 reservation up to 90 days before the cruise and then make more once on board.
• Free unlimited shore excursions
• All drinks and beverages, includes fine wines, beer and premium branded spirits, soft drinks, bottle water, speciality coffees and tea served throughout the ship at any time of day.
• All on board activity including expert guest lectures, production shows from award winning directors, wine and food workshops, sporting activities and much more........
• Free in-suite mini bar replenished daily with soft drinks, beer and bottled water
• Butler service in category C suites and above
• 24 hour room service and in-suite dining
• Governmental and port fees

Then the amount of space stands out as a further feature of this ship, she is just over 40,000 tons but takes only 700 passengers in all suite with balcony accommodation, with the smallest suites being 350 square feet that's nearly twice the size of some balcony cabins on other cruise ships!

A category H to D suite

The ship is not in anyway 'blingy', high quality and to me seems like a posh country club, nothing to offend just that luxury hideaway from home.In fact in the next couple of months, she is returning to the ship yard in Italy for a refit of the soft furnishings, not that she looks tardy in anyway.

So what about the food and wine, lunch was great and the wine was excellent - a definite bonus when you think that these are all included at lunch and dinner!

So why would you go on this type of cruise ship?

Well think about the cost of getting off the ship, on Celebrity or Cunard you have the trips and drinks etc and these mount up and when you add them to the cost of the cruise how different is this to the cost of going on a similar Regent Cruise. I bet its not that much really.

So why not give it a go?
